American Airlines Begins Retrofitting 1st Ex-Alaska Airlines Airbus A321neo

The aircraft was ferried from Miami last week.

While the move represents an increase of nearly 1,300 seats, preliminary data shows the airline could deploy a third aircraft on the route next year.

Data suggests the aircraft has been removed from the route indefinitely.

The carrier could soon be forced to reassess its fleet opportunities and capacity.

The move represents a loss of more than 42,000 seats that were originally scheduled.

The aircraft types will join Boeing 737 variants and the 757-300 between the two destinations.

The carrier will offer up a challenge to Southwest Airlines, which dominates the route.

The Atlanta-based carrier has decided to pick up the slack, which appears to be met with much fanfare.

The carrier touted its unique flight network and modern fleet as factors to its performance.

Despite the excitement surrounding the opening, some travelers are calling on the airport to develop a tram to shorten post-security transit time.
